ecb65397 41DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated - BETA Replicated database support
2bf79155 42
43=head1 SYNOPSIS
44
45The Following example shows how to change an existing $schema to a replicated
46storage type, add some replicated (readonly) databases, and perform reporting
955a6df6 47tasks.
2bf79155 48
64cdad22 49 ## Change storage_type in your schema class
50 $schema->storage_type( ['::DBI::Replicated', {balancer=>'::Random'}] );
51
52 ## Add some slaves. Basically this is an array of arrayrefs, where each
53 ## arrayref is database connect information
54
55 $schema->storage->connect_replicants(
56 [$dsn1, $user, $pass, \%opts],
57 [$dsn2, $user, $pass, \%opts],
58 [$dsn3, $user, $pass, \%opts],
59 );
60
7e38d850 61 ## Now, just use the $schema as normal
62 $schema->resultset('Source')->search({name=>'etc'});
63
64 ## You can force a given query to use a particular storage using the search
65 ### attribute 'force_pool'. For example:
66
67 my $RS = $schema->resultset('Source')->search(undef, {force_pool=>'master'});
68
69 ## Now $RS will force everything (both reads and writes) to use whatever was
70 ## setup as the master storage. 'master' is hardcoded to always point to the
71 ## Master, but you can also use any Replicant name. Please see:
72 ## L<DBIx::Class::Storage::Replicated::Pool> and the replicants attribute for
73 ## More. Also see transactions and L</execute_reliably> for alternative ways
74 ## to force read traffic to the master.
75
2bf79155 76=head1 DESCRIPTION
77
7e38d850 78Warning: This class is marked BETA. This has been running a production
ccb3b897 79website using MySQL native replication as its backend and we have some decent
7e38d850 80test coverage but the code hasn't yet been stressed by a variety of databases.
81Individual DB's may have quirks we are not aware of. Please use this in first
82development and pass along your experiences/bug fixes.
2bf79155 83
84This class implements replicated data store for DBI. Currently you can define
85one master and numerous slave database connections. All write-type queries
86(INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and even LAST_INSERT_ID) are routed to master
87database, all read-type queries (SELECTs) go to the slave database.
88
89Basically, any method request that L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI> would normally
bca099a3 90handle gets delegated to one of the two attributes: L</read_handler> or to
91L</write_handler>. Additionally, some methods need to be distributed
2bf79155 92to all existing storages. This way our storage class is a drop in replacement
93for L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI>.
94
95Read traffic is spread across the replicants (slaves) occuring to a user
96selected algorithm. The default algorithm is random weighted.
97
bca099a3 98=head1 NOTES
99
100The consistancy betweeen master and replicants is database specific. The Pool
101gives you a method to validate it's replicants, removing and replacing them
7e38d850 102when they fail/pass predefined criteria. Please make careful use of the ways
ecb65397 103to force a query to run against Master when needed.

231
232The master defines the canonical state for a pool of connected databases. All
233the replicants are expected to match this databases state. Thus, in a classic
234Master / Slaves distributed system, all the slaves are expected to replicate
235the Master's state as quick as possible. This is the only database in the
236pool of databases that is allowed to handle write traffic.

500Given a coderef, saves the current state of the L</read_handler>, forces it to
501use reliable storage (ie sets it to the master), executes a coderef and then
502restores the original state.
503
504Example:
505
64cdad22 506 my $reliably = sub {

508 $schema->resultset('User')->create({name=>$name});
509 my $user_rs = $schema->resultset('User')->find({name=>$name});

64cdad22 513 my $user_rs = $schema->storage->execute_reliably($reliably, 'John');

781Due to the fact that replicants can lag behind a master, you must take care to
782make sure you use one of the methods to force read queries to a master should
783you need realtime data integrity. For example, if you insert a row, and then
784immediately re-read it from the database (say, by doing $row->discard_changes)
785or you insert a row and then immediately build a query that expects that row
786to be an item, you should force the master to handle reads. Otherwise, due to
787the lag, there is no certainty your data will be in the expected state.
788
789For data integrity, all transactions automatically use the master storage for
790all read and write queries. Using a transaction is the preferred and recommended
791method to force the master to handle all read queries.
792
793Otherwise, you can force a single query to use the master with the 'force_pool'
794attribute:
795
796 my $row = $resultset->search(undef, {force_pool=>'master'})->find($pk);
797
798This attribute will safely be ignore by non replicated storages, so you can use
799the same code for both types of systems.
800
801Lastly, you can use the L</execute_reliably> method, which works very much like
802a transaction.
803
804For debugging, you can turn replication on/off with the methods L</set_reliable_storage>
805and L</set_balanced_storage>, however this operates at a global level and is not
806suitable if you have a shared Schema object being used by multiple processes,
807such as on a web application server. You can get around this limitation by
808using the Schema clone method.
809
810 my $new_schema = $schema->clone;
811 $new_schema->set_reliable_storage;
812
813 ## $new_schema will use only the Master storage for all reads/writes while
814 ## the $schema object will use replicated storage.
